Same for me, yet I can't access Xbox.com. Hopefully it will be sorted out before Amazon deliver my X1 tomorrow.

MS offices can't access their twitter. This is really weird.
Check out XBOX support twitter.
Is someone trying to DDOS MS?

Sony putting all those Gaikai servers to good use.
just kidding, I'm sure MS will fix this quickly
Can someone with more technical saavy way in on this?
That seems almost impossible for a company as big as microsoft to be vulnerable to a ddos.

Warfare.

xbox live seems to be down as well - I think the 360 doesnt use urls to access the servers. Could be some sort of multi-tier attack... or their servers crashed for whatever reason

LIVE is down, could it be a DDOS attack?
Hopefully it won't last for 3 weeks.

It's not a DDoS. You would have heard about it or seen evidence. Their servers are just being swamped.

DDoS is the only logical explanation to what's happening. It could be Anonymous, they're most likely the ones that did this.

There's no way this is intentional.

Let's hope so.
Joke? You would never do this for all servers at once unless you had a very severe reason to do so and certainly not less than 1h before Europe goes live...
its not server overload.

How do you know?
Nah, they wouldn't affect all their business customers for the X1 launch.

It's way past that now. And this is impacting much more than just Live. Outlook, Office 365 etc. all down. Major outage.
by what exactly? The amount of xbox ones out in the wild right now should still be pretty managable...

Just logged on to XBL...it is working. Phila, PA.
It can't last for 3 weeks. It can't even last for 6 hours. All these new consoles won't even boot if these servers aren't up to deliver the day 1 patch.
Didn't the same thing happen when the 360 launched, i swear it did. It will be pretty cringeworthy if its a certain fanbase doing the attack because didn't someone say that in another thread when they were discussing the Amazon Sony fans making loads of accounts to say that their Xbox is broken just because PS4 has had problems?.
